As it has been written...Mary Cameron,who lived near Glamorgan, made the first Welsh Rabbit in the 7th Century. The fame of it spread so that her name has been remembered.

In those days,as now, the Welsh were great lovers of wild rabbit.When a hunter returned empty handed after promising his wife a fat rabbit for supper it was indeed a sorry state of affairs.

So it happened one day to Arthur Cameron,husband of Mary.She saw Arthur coming over the fields with nothing to show for his hunting.She quickly cut up some strong yellow cheese in a pot near the fire,added some bacon drippings and a pint of ale.

When Arthur arrived home she served him this wonderful sauce on freshly toasted bread.

This recipe was so good that it was not long before it was used all over England,Scotland,and Ireland.

The recipe was refined a bit as follows by the Tudor rulers,but is basically Mary Cameron's recipe.

Welsh Rabbit never contains such things as Worcestershire sauce,eggs,cayenne pepper or curry powder.
